The Cosmic Creatorcast

Hey everybody! Welcome back to the Cosmic Creatorverse. In this episode, we dive into the profound connection between community and creativity. Our guest is Diane Lindquist, an award-winning, multi-disciplinary artist, designer, design director and artpreneur based in Los Angeles, CA. She shares how the concept of community has shaped her work and fueled her passion to give back. Drawing inspiration from her cultural background, she incorporates her experiences into her creative endeavors, developing platforms for community engagement and collaborating with non-profit organizations.  We explore the power of authenticity and finding a balance between personal identity and external influences in the creative field. As creatives, we discuss the importance of continuously expressing our true selves and adapting through personal and professional transformations. Our guest shares a pivotal moment in her growth when she cultivated a project called Gurl Museum Day, a platform that bridges art and community to promote representation of women and women of color in the art world. We delve into how her sense of community and creativity intertwine not only in her professional work but also in her personal expression. She candidly shares her experience as a monocular person and how staying true to herself has allowed her creative expression to become more authentic. We explore the expansion of self-expression and how peeling back layers to reveal our authentic selves attracts people and opportunities in alignment with who we truly are. Our guest expresses empowerment in witnessing other one-eyed individuals using their platforms to educate and pursue their dreams authentically. The episode concludes with a powerful conversation on the impact of self-expression and creativity in creating change, even if it touches just one person. Tune in to this inspiring episode as we explore the dynamic relationship between creativity, community, and personal transformation. Thanks for listening!

Hey creators! Back again with another inspiring interview with one of the most cosmic beings I know...Starla Frequency! In this episode, we explore the concept of creativity and vibration and how they are interconnected. Our guest shares her journey with sound healing and how it led her to recognize the impact of vibrations on every aspect of her life. We learn how we are all made up of vibrations, and how these vibrations affect our ability to be creative. We also delve into the idea that creativity is not an individual process, but rather impacted by external factors such as our immediate environment and our ability to receive guidance and wisdom. We discuss the process of transforming energy into a physical form and how it requires us to be conscious of our vibrations. Our guest emphasizes the importance of being authentic and not compromising our creative voice. Additionally, we discuss the role of destruction in the creative process and the importance of detaching from emotions and beliefs that do not serve our vibration. The conversation ends with a discussion on the use of routines and rituals to align oneself with the vibrational energy of expansion and openness to work through creative blocks. Please enjoy. I am also working on developing a central hub for the podcast so I can include show notes and transcripts more accessibly. And more interviews and solo explorations are coming you way very soon.

Hey creators! I'm back...I know it's been awhile since we've explore the cosmic realm of creativity together, but it's fitting that for the return of the podcast, this episode explores creativity and CYCLES. In this solo episode, I catch ya'll up on where I've been for the past year, and reflect on the nature of cycles as they relate to creativity and in our lives. It's just a quick lil' solo episode, and I hope that it resonates with you on some level as navigate some of the larger cycles happening around us right now...like...eclipse season (eek!) I'd love to hear your thoughts on the episode! I'm trying out the question feature (if you're listening on Spotify.) AND you can connect with me on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/_cosmic_creator_/ or just search for cosmic creator, or you can email me at cosmic.creatorcast@gmail.com. I'll be releasing new episodes over the next few months, and will be starting to record some more interviews as well, so stay tuned for all the cosmic creative fun we have in store.

On this episode, Rachel interviews legendary creative badass and award-winning designer Marina Murad. The theme? IDENTITY. As an Iraqi born creative, Marina shares how she has used her cultural identity as inspiration to infuse magic into her creative work. We also explore how growing up in the West (and Western Media) has influenced her identity (and creativity) AND how these experiences are now shaping her most authentic and self-expressive creativity yet. Hosts note: I am working on building a stand-alone platform for the pod so I can include episode transcripts and show notes.

The first episode of the Cosmic Creatorcast is here! Join me, your host Rachel, as I take you on a journey to recount some of my experiences as a creative and how the Cosmic Creator came to be. I also share more about the number one tool I have found that has supported me in living the most authentic, creative and expressive life: self trust. Not only has learning to listen to and trust myself helped me to live a more authentic, creative and expressive life, it literally saved my creativity from (what I thought was) total extinction. This first solo minisode is the soft launch of the podcast, with amazing creative interviews to come for the official launch in April or May. In the meantime let's continue the conversation!
